I find great hope in this blog and ring... As a theologian and a Catholic, and perhaps even a future nun, I rejoice at the contributions of women in the church, and I am humbled by the greatness that I see among you all. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your service and your brilliance!<BR/><BR/>sdSister Juliet, RSCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340665039183368313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-85743872653936610162007-12-09T22:28:00.000-05:002007-12-09T22:28:00.000-05:00My favourite seminary prof is an SMU grad, so this...My favourite seminary prof is an SMU grad, so this made me smile today thinking of him. <BR/><BR/>We sang this hymn last week when there were very few voices because of a huge snowstorm.

We are doing People Look East one in Lessons and Carols next week too, the Jonothan Willcocks arrangement which is very fancy and lovely.

The choir did an incredible job--it was a real blessing to have them share this in worship rather than in an afternoon "performance."Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838436991138846332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-41343581097579827872007-12-09T14:39:00.000-05:002007-12-09T14:39:00.000-05:00We sang the hymn featured today - People Look East...We sang the hymn featured today - People Look East - I especially enjoyed what sounded as though they were period instruments -- not sure if they were or not. Thank you Michelle for selecting the hymn.<BR/><BR/>Today we sang some Advent chestnuts - Come, thou long expected Jesus, There's a voice in the wilderness crying, Prepare the Way, O Zion, On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry, and Isaiah, the prophet has written of old. <BR/><BR/>Interestingly, the organist, by accidentally played the tune to "There's a voice in the wilderness crying" when we sang "Prepare the Way O Zion" - and it worked. However, please note, it won't work the other way around. "There's a voice in the wilderness crying" does not fit into the tune Prepare the way O Zion". The meter doesn't work in reverse on that one.
